i agree with baggs
that stance is so fundemental, easiest way to learn to hit. knees bent, balanced center of gravity, bat up, elbows up.
pitch delivery, ummmmmmm
dontrelle willis. his high kick, and plus his release point is different for every pitch, it makes him so hard to hit.
pitch delivery all time
no so much the delivery, but everything that lead up to it.

get down and pat the dirt on the mound so it's just right. look out at the players on the field and give them a little telepathic pep talk. have a short conversation with the ball and then wind up and throw. if the catcher made a great call, mark would tell him, if a infielder made a great play, he'd fun out after the play and shake his hand. he was baseball's first rock star pitcher. seeing mark ptich was more like going to a concert at tiger stadium than a baseball game. he did all this goofy stuff, but still went 19-9 his rookie year with 24 complete games. dig that, 5 of those complete games were losses. he was a workhorse, but still lived his childhood dream by playing baseball and having fun.
Bless You Bird

Lance Blankenship's stance was so open that his body was parallel to the wall in straight away centre. And Hideo Nomo's every pitch made me want to get to a chiropractor as soon as I could. BTW, EnormusJ69, so call Dan Quizenberry the orginal submariner is to ignore the history of baseball. When the rules of the game were first codified, and for some time after that, ALL pitchers were mandated to use only underhand deliveries.

I'll just have to use my faves as in ones that make me laugh.
Julio Franco when he pointed his bat head at the pitcher. It looked akward.
Jay Buhner stood almost facing the pitcher, rocking his bat back and forth in his hands then snapping into place at the last second.
Hideo Nomo, he's just crazy how he spins.
I don't know the name, but in the WBC there was a Japanese pitcher who threw such a submariner that it looked like his hand was only a couple inches off the dirt as he came around.

Pitching delivery- Gene Garber
Batting stance- Gary Maddox
Both of the Phillies, guess they liked strange oddities, although they were both very effective.

I always loved Julio Franco's stance, such a complete swing. I always tried to copy it when I played little league.
I remember when Hideo Nomo came into the league, I thought his style was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. His and Andy Pettitte's are my two favorites.
